Why is PS2 emulation getting worse over time?

Why is PS2 emulation getting worse over time?

Devs are monkeys

Elaborate.

PS2 emulation used to be decent, now it's worse.

I don't follow.

It's shitposting.

I don't understand this. PS2 emulation used to be laggy as fuck and the controller mapping didn't work for shit. Now I can play all my fav games on pcsx2 no problem.

emulation is inherently the worst way to play games. PS2 emulation is getting worse over time because the PCSX2 devs are upping the hardware requirements to attempt to get their hack-filled abortion of an emulator running better on their out of date Intel PCs. It's not a good look and is swiftly becoming the ZSNES of modern emulators.

Good thing I still have my PS2.

I think what happend is OP used to have an intell machine, then he "upgraded" to amd.

I have a Haswell Xeon.

Banned yet?

>>ps2 emulation works perfectly

Yeah but you can't hook them up to monitors unless you use some shitty adapter or shell out $300 for a framemeister (which aren't good with 480i signals anyway)

>>ps2 emulation works perfectly

ps2 emulation is fine. now 3ds emulation on the other hand....

>ps2 emulation is fine

>ps2 emulation is fine

>he doesn't know how to emulate ps2 games perfectly on a toaster

...is coming along pretty well even though it still has some kinks and needs to be optimized further.

I guess. Its moving at a snails pace though. I just really wanna play animal crossing WITHOUT glitches ya know?

Believe me i know friend. Im praying for the day i can play etrian odyssey without slowdowns but theyre doing better work than a lot of other emulators. Hopefully the botnet they added speeds things up a bit even if most people opt out.

there are many games that still do not work regardless of what you can do to make them work on a toaster user.
my needs are much more demanding than ps2 emulation can provide

Unironically yes

PCSX2 is by far the worst mainstream emulator

From my experience of PS2 emulation, its just that each game requires their own settings and hacks, and it really matters if you have an intel cpu and not an AMD.

Download the nightly build and use AVX2 with OpenGL (Software). Preset 2 - Safe (faster) in the Emulation Settings. I have zero issues with it aside from certain games not being accurate or inherent issues from the ps2 hardware.

rolling but all of them are cowtit sluts so im not liking any of them

>ps2 emulation is fine

where'd you get that idea m8?

the way i see it pcsx2 is getting better over time and i genuinely don't get this meme of "it's getting worse"
